Hello from Paraguay!

Hello!
 
My name is Carlos, I'm brazilian but I live in a farm in Paraguay, near the brazilian border of Foz do Iguaçu (where the Iguassu falls is located).
 
I started growing peppers about a year and a half ago, with a few Ghosts and Habaneros. I'm was already experienced in growing vegetables but I found growing peppers way more interesting then veggies and now I already have about 300 pepper plants growing. I'm seeding more plants every month.
 
My plan is to start selling my own sauces, first in a small scale. But I got a long way to go before that. I'm still learning about pepper fermentation, making tests with airlocks and this forum is one of my main references. I was already viewing it "from the outside".
 
I hope I can gather a lot of information here and maybe even make some friends!
 
Welcome, Cpneto! I joined in September, and i have found THP to be an excellent information resource, and a very friendly place. I think that a professional pepper grower from Paraguay, such as yourself, has much to contribute to this forum. You have a perspective that is different from most North American growers, and knowledge that we might not have.
There are probably farming techniques and pepper varieties that most of us have not encountered. I'll enjoy reading your posts.
 
Thanks for the warm welcome! :onfire:
 
It's nice to see other foreigners on the forum!
 
mikeg, I'm still not a professional grower but I felt happy when you called me one!
 
I hope soon I'll be growing peppers in a professional level but I'm still beginning. Since I'm on an agriculture farm I have an easier access to pesticides, fertilizers and other resources. I got a great ammount of land to grow peppers also, I just need to work on irrigation systems. The weather here is fine, with temperatures above 100F in the summer and peppers fruiting all year long.
 
And you're right about pepper varieties. We have a lot of different peppers kinds, althought some of them are available on internet shops. Maybe I'll start trading!
 
Hawaiianero: Pepper grown here are the same as in Brazil. We have a great variety of local peppers, like Pimenta de bode, Pimenta de Cheiro, Dedo de Moça, Cumari passarinho, Cumari do Pará, Malaguetinha, Murupi and others.
 
Greetings Carlos!
Im Timothy, new to the site as well.  I really look forward to your posts and sharing information.  If you are looking to trade I am definitely interested.  I grow peppers here in my urban garden, two beds and a lot of 'tubs'.  Mostly fatali, mustard habaneros, caribbean habaneros, and bhut jolokias... Its nice you have the Cumari Do Para' I am very interested in this pepper and would love to trade for some seeds if you're game.  I am going to look into the other varieties you posted about as well they sound very intriguing.  I have grown peppers for a few years and made sauce for a couple, perhaps I can give you some tips on making sauce my friend.  Lets get these trades poppin like pepper pods!
